Galena Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE:FYI) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
the results from the Phase I drilling program on the Maureen property, located
in the state of Nayarit, Mexico. The drilling confirms the occurrence of both
gold and silver mineralization and shows that high grade mineralization at depth
continues on the property.
Highlights:
MRE-08-04 assayed 0.19 g/t Au and 38.89 g/t Ag over 8.00 m. including 0.66 g/t
Au and 235.50 g/t Ag over 1.00 m.
MRE-08-06 assayed 1.98 g/t Au and 326.25 g/t Ag over 4.30 m. including 4.28 g/t
Au and 725.60 g/t Ag over 1.00 m. and 3.21 g/t Au and 566.40 g/t Ag over 1.00 m.
MRE-08-07 assayed 13.95 g/t Au and 245.21 g/t Ag over 9.10 m. including 125.63
g/t Au and 2,174.80 g/t Ag over 1.00 m.; 0.25 g/t Au and 39.80 g/t Ag over 1.00
m. and also including 0.76 g/t Au and 12.90 g/t Ag over 1.00 m.
Galena is presently developing their Phase II drill program to include the
lateral extensions of the La Suerte vein. Hole MRE-08-07 required additional
sampling due to some areas within the high grading zone that were not sampled.
At present, we have assumed the gaps to contain no traces of gold or silver. The
Company is awaiting results. Nine (9) holes were drilled during this phase of
exploration, for a total drilling amount of 1,984.4 metres.

Luc Rioux, Director of Exploration for Galena commented, "These results
demonstrate the quality of our asset and the success of our exploration
strategy. The aggressive near-production exploration efforts, carried out by our
dedicated exploration team in Mexico are realizing the additional discovery
potential at our Maureen property".
Drill core was logged, split and sampled by Company personnel at facilities in
La Curva, state of Nayarit, Mexico. Samples were subsequently bagged, sealed and
shipped under the custody of Company personnel to the Sonora Sample Prep
facility in Hermosillo, Sonora where the samples were prepared and in order to
reduce shipping costs between Mexico and Canada, only the pulps are shipped to
the IPL lab in Vancouver, B.C. to be analyzed by standard industry-recognized
assay methods.
